Hotel bars are open after sunset and sells booze.

But Ikea...they are still open right? No man or woman should be forced to 'go without' when it comes to a wide variety of Scandanavian flatpack furniture.

great to read that I am not the only one who does miss just a screw after the wardrobe is almost finished. grrrrr....:curse:

They should also add a warning that after you finally succeed to set up the wardrobe that you are not allowed to put clothes in it otherwise the wardrobe will fell down.

Yeah, I've got a pot of woodglue I use for just such occasions. It actually makes the whole thing much more rigid and stable as well :p.

Form and function? Sounds novel. You ask a lot from poor old Sven, He probably has to come up with a new range every day just to keep up as well as packing all the screws und bolts. :D
